there wasn't any gossip either IMO...it was just statements casa made on another thread. i figured casa would make a comment about it since he said something earlier...thought he'd still be watching the thread since it was made to continue his "name" concept.
sorry if it was a problem...or if it got Riot in trouble...

why are you assuming I let it escalate??? i made one comment regarding casablanca's view on people name's and that is it! i apologized immediately after to zoom...who said it was bashing/gossip (even though neither had been going on) and I apologized if Riot got in trouble.
how did i "let it escalate" if i only made the ONE comment and then apologized TWICE? don't make this like the other threads where you jump on me for nothing. this time i didn't do anything near what you are saying and i will defend myself this time.

So... anywho... getting back on topic! When I read Summerriot's post, I just figured this was a thread about our pups' names, why we named them that, and if we feel it affects their personality or how it affects how others see our dogs. NOT a personal attack, just a question. :/ that's what I got, at least.
Gonzo is named such because, um, I guess you have to meet him to know! He is a very well-behaved dog now, but when we got him at 6 months, he was allll over the place. He's still an active, silly boy, so the name will always fit him. He also has a big nose =P
Fozzie is named after Fozzie Bear, because he's hysterically funny, cuddly, soft, and very sweet. I always had the name Fozzie in the back of my mind if I were to get a second male dog (can you tell I loved the Muppets?), and in Fozzie's case it just fits him.
I feel that cute names are more endearing than typical "human" names... like, I love making up silly nicknames off of my dogs names (such as Gargonzola for Gonzo ^_^) and I care more about the name being unique and personal to me & my family. I feel that giving Gonzo a goofy name somehow makes my bond with him actually stronger than if I would've named him "Bob" or "Jack". Not that anything is wrong with human names or fancy names, I just prefer names that I feel truly fits them, and I have fun with the names. I also have fun with naming my Bettas ;0)

BudgetsDad, I'm not sure if you checked out the other thread where Casablanca1 was posting.. the posters in there told him to take it to another thread..he didn't, so I started one.
I was genuinely curious as to what he honestly thought of Riots name and I'm a little disappointed that he hadn't posted his opinion on it yet.
No mockery was intended, even though I do not agree with what he has said.

I miss all the fun! LOL
I have to agree with Gonzo cause I did read every post and thats how it seemed to me as well. I thought it was a thread to discuss what our dogs names mean to us and others.
Summer you know how I feel about Riot...Ill bet I know why you called him that... You got him home and saw what fun he was to have around and probably told somebody he is a riot only then to figure out that AHA that will be his name....Ok Im stretching but sounds like a good story anyways huh?
Anyways What do you all think of the name Red? Was going to be Fred...
"F-n- Red" Cause he was a turd from the start.
